Of the four religious schools on Brotherhood Way, St. Thomas More, the largest, is the Catholic School.
Expansion at St. Thomas More will encompass a permanent facility for our kindergarten, replacing the portable classrooms now housing that grade, the addition of a pre-school, a library/media centre, a science/art instruction area, a fully fitted kitchen and a large multi-purpose meeting area for use by the school, the Archdiocese, and the wider community.
Kindergarten program at St. Thomas More School has a decidedly academic approach.
